Ring volumes change - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I think there is some kind of bug when watching videos. Sometimes when I exit out of a video my ringer volume is changed to silent even though I've only touched the volume of the video I'm watching. Anyone have something happen similar?

I know I've had the notification volume turn itself way up for no apparent reason. Usually scares the crap out of me when it goes off.

Volume Problem

When I play games or launch an app with sound the volume is super loud. No matter how I adjust the volume it is always at the same level unless I turn it all the way down. Angry Birds for example is the same volume when it is turned all the way up or just one tick from being on silent. It is the same thing for any video, game, etc.
Has anyone else had this problem? I see that some people want a volume boost. I want an option for it to be quieter. Right now it is either silent or full blast.

My TF has the same problem.
I just got my TF yesterday.Everything is fine except this problem.
It happens when playing video,can be fixed after a reboot.Hope it's just a software/OS bug,which can be fixed in future updates.
try a hard shut down (hold power button for 15 seconds) then reboot, if it still occurs, do a factory reset.
When you use a cable connection it can not adjust the volume

Silence notifications

I got a note pro 12.2 last week. This is the first tablet that I have had that had seperate volume controls for notifications, media and system. In any case whenever I restart or other wise turn the device on...it does it little start up noise and then it just goes on playing some stupid music. I turn the notifications volume down , but when I turn the media volume back up the notifications volume goes up as well. I go to the task killer and nothing is running. How do you kill that noise?
I don't hear any music on mine when I turn it on. Something on yours must be running in the background. Did you buy a new tablet or used?
Are you referring to the Samsung Boot theme?

Ringtone/Media/Alarm/Notification Volume do not change

Ive had BLN-L24 B360 for a little under a week now and have noticed some frustrating issues with regards to the volume levels on this phone. For the most part it seems as though the volume slider that indicates volume level/loudness is just a dummy switch because sound from the phones speaker does not go up or down, it is simply on or off, as in the first step above mute is the same volume as max.
This this is the case with all volume levels through the phones speaker and is extremely frustrating because the sounds are too loud. Whether it is screen lock or unlock, receiving a text or call, or the alarm, I dont need everything being super loud even though I have the volume set low. Im tired of being jolted awake by the alarm that I can't adjust and I cant even watch a video clip without headphones at night because everything is just too damn loud.
With head phones plugged in I notice there is some change in volume with notifications and ringtones but there is just no low volume . Media volume (music) with headphones is the only level that can be adjusted to a low volume but I notice that once the high volume warning dialog pops up around halfway, the volume from there to max stays roughly the same.
Ive seen other people say that low headphone output is a major complaint about this phone but has anyone else experienced loud, unadjustable volume from their phones speaker? It seems to me like a software issue which leads me to believe I'm not the only one. If my description of the issue was confusing, the volume output of the phones speaker is exactly the same in both screenshots.
Edit: While looking through all the audio settings once again it seems that somehow viper4android phone speaker was was turned on and extra loud was turned on unknowingly, which explains why the first step of volume was so loud. However this has since been turned off and still doesn't explain why alarms, ringtones and notifications volume is not really adjustable, the volume is just a bit lower now.
a factory reset could change the behavior.
However, this is not the same behavior many are facing, the problem, in general, is low loud speaker volume and none of the user reported this behavior you mentioned. may be a factory reset can help.

Youtube volume bug on Android 8 Oreo

Not sure if anyone else with Oreo has this issue.
The volume issues (too quiet) of Nougat on the XZP seem to be fixed in the Youtube app, but while I'm watching a video and a notification buzzes in, the volume then drops off completely to about 10% even if I increase the volume to full. To get the volume to come back, I have to touch the video slider to either rewind or fast forward the video and then the volume comes back..
Does anyone else have this issue and can reproduce it?

Phone keeps going in and out of call mode -Not on call!

Hi guys,
I noticed a week ago that while listening to a WhatsApp voice message I was unable to change the volume using the volume rocker.
I thought this very strange. Then while in the car listening to a podcast via Bluetooth I noticed the audio would stop, then maybe 5 minutes later start again by itself, then stop again (sometimes for ages) then start again.
I've now noticed that the audio was switching to in call volume ( active and green) during the times the audio stopped. As soon as it decided I wasn't on a call it would then default back to media volume and things would start playing again.
So my bloody phone thinks either a call is coming through or I'm on a call yet neither of these things are true.
Very very very frustrating!
Has anybody experienced this? What could this be and how can it be fixed?
Thanks
Bump

I am still not able to understand your issue clearly but could it be bad proximity sensor?
Thanks for replying.
My phone has "in call volume" active sometimes even though not on a call. When you press the volume rocker on the side it is active (highlighted in blue) when it shouldn't be.
When active it cuts out all other media.
Then sometimes it's normal where in call volume not showing (not active) when you press the volume rocker so I can play media, (media volume shows active when pressing volume rocker) just the way it should be.
It's totally random.
I'd that clearer?
Thanks!

Do you have smart connect installed? In past I have experience something similar while using smart connect.
Like sometime it acts as if headphone is connected when it's not and you don't hear anything when you play media.
I haven't, and I don't know what smart connect is but my issue isn't it thinking headphone connected, it thinks it's on a phone call
